CAS Number: 134760-78-4Molecular Weight: 2167.11Salt Form: TFAPurity: >96%Sequence (3-letter): Ala-Tyr-Ser-Tyr-Val-Ser-Glu-Tyr-Lys-Arg-Leu-Pro-Val-Tyr-Asn-Phe-Gly-Leu-NH2Sequence (1-letter): AYSYVSEYKRLPVYNFGL-NH2Storage: -20 °C or belowAllostatin B2 (ASB2) is a myoinhibitory peptide (MIP) used to study juvenile hormone production.  Allatostatins are neuropeptides found in insects and crustaceans and Allatostatin B2 inhibits juvenile hormone biosynthesis in insects. As a result Allatostatin B2 is a potential target for insecticide development.ReferencesWilliamson M Lenz C Winther AM Nässel DR Grimmelikhuijzen CJ (2001) "Molecular cloning genomic organization and expression of a B-type (cricket-type) allatostatin preprohormone from Drosophila melanogaster".
